Travel tools: 18 new AI-powered offline translation packs for your next adventure
In addition to the existing languages, you can now translate to and from the following languages without an internet connection using AI-powered Neural Machine Translation (NMT) technology:
| Bangla Bulgarian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian |
Finnish Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Norwegian |
Polish Romanian Slovak Swedish Tamil Turkish |
With these offline translation packs, users can translate text they type, share from a text message or other app, and can even translate text in pictures such as signs or restaurant menus.
Developers on Android can now also perform offline translations in these languages with the Translator app local feature.
Compared with previous generation technology (aka statistical machine translation), NMT is better at capturing the context of full sentences before translating them, providing higher quality, more human-sounding translations. What this means is you’ll be able to communicate in a more natural way whether you’re traveling for business or a summer holiday.
